Judge 3Colour and golden nose, RS impression and palate lacks energy and focus.
Associate Judgeripe mango lolly, med intensity on nose- touch of mint on first visit, remains on second visit, quite dominant - palate is rich with overripe fruits, not quite cloying. a riper example overall but has good integrity
